System can sterilize medical tools using solar heat
Autoclaves, which are used to sterilize medical tools, require a steady supply of hot, pressurized steam. Researchers at MIT and the Indian Institute of Technology have come up with a way to generate that steam passively, using just the power of sunlight, to help maintain safe, sterile equipment at low cost in remote locations.

A review on research and development of passive building in China
The research and development of passive solar buildings in China began in the1990s. In 1992, Zhang summarized the construction requirements of passive solar buildings according to the real construction experience in the rural area [99]. In 1993, Wang and Liu conducted an applicability analysis of developing passive solar buildings in …
Passive solar buildings are meant to be environmentally friendly. There would be no point in designing a building that saved 75 percent of its winter heating costs if that same design led to a 300 percent increase in air conditioning expenses in summer. So an essential aspect of passive solar design is achieving year-round effectiveness.
Solar energy is a form of renewable energy, in which sunlight is turned into electricity, heat, or other forms of energy we can use is a "carbon-free" energy source that, once built, produces none of the greenhouse gas emissions that are driving climate change. Solar is the fastest-growing energy source in the world, adding 270 terawatt-hours of new …
